  • As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6 , a first slot structure 1111 is formed on the first case portion 111. A first abutting structure 13111 is formed on the first heat dissipating portion 1311 and at least partially passes through the first slot structure 1111. A second slot structure 1121 is formed on the second case portion 112. A second abutting structure 1321 is formed on the second heat dissipating component 132 and at least partially passes through the second slot structure 1121. The first abutting structure 13111 can abut against the first electrical plug connector 21 for conducting heat generated by the first electrical plug connector 21 to the first heat dissipating portion 1311 by the first abutting structure 13111. The second abutting structure 1321 can abut against the second electrical plug connector 22 for conducting heat generated by the second electrical plug connector 22 to the second heat dissipating component 132 by the second abutting structure 1321.
  • In this embodiment, the first abutting structure 13111 and the second abutting structure 1321 can be two protruding platform structures.

For example, in another embodiment, the first abutting structure 13111 or the second abutting structure 1321 can be a plate-shaped structure or a column-shaped structure.
  • As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 , in order to allow the first heat dissipating portion 1311 and the second heat dissipating component 132 to dissipate the heat conducted from the first electrical plug connector 21 and the second electrical plug connector 22 to the air rapidly, a first heat dissipating structure 13112 is further formed on the first heat dissipating portion 1311 and for increasing a heat dissipating area of the first heat dissipating portion 1311, and a heat dissipating structure 1322 is further formed on the second heat dissipating component 132 and for increasing a heat dissipating area of the second heat dissipating component 132.
  • In this embodiment, the first heat dissipating structure 13112 and the heat dissipating structure 1322 can be two thermal fin structures, such as two plate-fin structures. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the first heat dissipating structure or the heat dissipating structure can be a column-fin structure.
  • As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 5 , the first case portion 111 and the second case portion 112 not only abut against the first electrical plug connector 21 and the second electrical plug connector 22 respectively but also abut against each other. Therefore, the heat generated by the first electrical plug connector 21 and the second electrical plug connector 22 can be conducted to the second case portion 112 directly and/or indirectly. In order to avoid heat accumulation, at least one heat dissipating abutting structure 1122 is formed on the second case portion 112 and abuts against the first heat dissipating structure 13112, so that the heat conducted to the second case portion 112 can be conducted to the first heat dissipating structure 13112 by the heat dissipating abutting structure 1122.
  • In this embodiment, the heat dissipating abutting structure 1122 can be a resilient arm structure. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the heat dissipating abutting structure can be a protruding lug structure.
  • Understandably, the number and the configuration of the heat dissipating abutting structure are not limited to those illustrated in the figures of this embodiment. It depends on practical demands.
  • Besides, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 , the first end and the second end of the first heat dissipating portion 1311 are integrally connected to the second heat dissipating portion 1312 and the third heat dissipating portion 1313 respectively, which results in a low heat resistance between the first heat dissipating portion 1311 and the second heat dissipating portion 1312 and a low heat resistance between the first heat dissipating portion 1311 and the third heat dissipating portion 1313. Therefore, the heat conducted to the first heat dissipating portion 1311 can be rapidly conducted to the second heat dissipating portion 1312 and the third heat dissipating portion 1313. Furthermore, in order to allow the second heat dissipating portion 1312 and the third heat dissipating portion 1313 to dissipate the heat to the air rapidly, a second heat dissipating structure 13121 and a third heat dissipating structure 13131 are respectively formed on the second heat dissipating portion 1312 and the third heat dissipating portion 1313 and for increasing a heat dissipating area of the second heat dissipating portion 1312 and a heat dissipating area of the third heat dissipating portion 1313.

However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the second heat dissipating structure or the third heat dissipating structure can be a column-fin structure.
  • Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 , the first case portion 111 includes a first wall 111A, a second wall 111B, a third wall 111C and a fourth wall 111D. The first wall 111A and the second wall 111B are located opposite to each other. The third wall 111C and the fourth wall 111D are located opposite to each other and connected to the first wall 111A and the second wall 111B. The first wall 111A is located adjacent to the first heat dissipating portion 1311. The first slot structure 1111 is formed on the first wall 111A. The third wall 111C is located adjacent to the second heat dissipating portion 1312. The fourth wall 111D is located adjacent to the third heat dissipating portion 1313.

A length of the first heat dissipating portion 1311 along the second direction D2 is greater than a length of the case device 11 along the second direction D2. The thicker first heat dissipating portion 1311 can absorb more heat and conduct the heat to the thinner second heat dissipating portion 1312 and the thinner third heat dissipating portion 1313 located outside the case device 11 rapidly. Therefore, the first heat dissipating component 131 has enhanced heat dissipating performance. Preferably, the first direction D1 can be perpendicular to the second direction D2, and the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 can be perpendicular to the inserting direction I of the first electrical plug connector 21 and/or the second electrical plug connector 22.

Therefore, in order to increase an overall structural strength, a first supporting structure 1113 is formed on the first case portion 111. A second supporting structure 1124 is formed on the second case portion 112. When the second case portion 112 is detachably assembled with the first case portion 111, the first supporting structure 1113 and the second supporting structure 1124 abut against the second case portion 112 and the first case portion respectively. The first supporting structure 1113 and the second supporting structure 1124 are respectively located at a front side of the first case portion 111 and a front side of the second case portion 112 for positioning the front side of the first case portion 111 and the front side of the second case portion 112.
